NASCAR team owner Jack Roush was transferred to the Mayo Clinic after undergoing surgery for facial personal injuries he suffered in a Wisconsin plane crash.

In a July 29 statement, Roush Fenway Racing said that Roush had been taken to the Mayo Clinic the day before and has been listed in serious but stable condition. The team did not specify the manner of injuries he sustained in the July 27 accident.

Another passenger on the plane, Roush’s friend Brenda Stricklin, underwent treatment and was released from a hospital in Wisconsin on the afternoon of July 28.
